Access Issue: Paradise, Library, and Hawk Rock closed to climbing
Details
During the recent public OHV study meetings linked below, The Earth Conservancy has made it clear that they do not allow rock climbing on their land. The Library, Paradise, and Hawk Rock all fall within Earth Conservancy Land, and are therefore closed to climbing. The Eastern Pennsylvania Alliance of climbers is currently working with the Access Fund, Earth Conservancy, and DCNR to reopen these areas to climbing. Please be respectful of this closure and utilize the other crags around Mocanaqua to avoid further jeopardizing our future access of these beloved crags.
Enjoy techy moves through the first bolt (easier if tall). The crux (significantly easier if tall) is at the obvious blank section, where moving to the right is on the next route and will drop the grade.
Location
This climb is the leftmost bolted slab line, about 10 or 20 feet to the right of Roof of Madness. The bolted line immediately to the right of this climb is Broken Finger (5.7). Ground-up climbing only - the anchors are probably not accessible from above.
Protection
Mostly bolted, but you'll want to supplement with small-to-medium gear. Fixed anchors at the top.
